Thanx for the tip, will try Luno. I see they are the prefered platform.

If you want to by LTC local the only option is ICE3X but they have highish margins so take care to compare prices.
If you're using ZAR rather buy BTC from Luno and move it to an exchange where you can swop it for other currencies like LTC.
Actually, a better way of doing it is to move your BTC away from Luno to a wallet where you control the private keys.
One option is to use http://www.exodus.io/ which - a desktop wallet with great features.  You control your own private keys and can use Shapeshift to convert to other supported crypto at low cost. (If you have USD or EUR then buy BTC from Bitstamp.com as it's around 6% cheaper than Luno on avg).
If you want access to all kinds of obscure crypto you can register at https://bittrex.com/

Is that the regular savings/current account or like an emergency fund?

My current account at FNB after all the debit orders is close to R0. Extra funds is in a 32 day account I use to fund the credit card if there was an emergency of some sorts.

It's my current account. I need to keep a minimum of R20k to avoid monthly fees

This works for me because of my spending patterns, but the eBucks I receive more than covers my monthly fees. I'm on level 5 so I get 40% discount at Checkers...so it really works. Way better solution for me than having to keep R20k in an current account.

Tol ya so - almost got banned on mybb when I said they are talking kak when they said luno wont ever sell ether. They go where the money is.

20c per eBuck. Let's do this!

So I'm planning to move from FNB to Capitec, anyone here use Capitec? Anything I need to know before I close my FNB account?

I've been using Capitec for close to 5 years now. I love it. Use in conjunction with a Virgin Money credit card (Free). Do all my spending on the credit card, up to 55 days interest free. Let your money sit in the Capitec account until your credit card is due, settle the debt in full, repeat process. This way you get all the interest goodness of a large balance in your Capitec account, and interest free "borrowing" for 55 days.

You Capitec guys. Do you have to verify each and every transaction on your current/cheque account with the app on your smartphone? I'm with ABSA and I've just discovered they won't let me continue with their online banking unless I download their latest app to my smartphone to verify online transactions. I don't want to do that as it's a hassle and makes me more reliant on my phone that ever. So I'm thinking of switching to Capitec where hopefully I won't have to do that.

Ah, cool. Thanks.
